Chapter 127 Is it alive?
Zhuang Yu felt a sudden dizziness, as if his consciousness was falling into an abyss.
When he came to his senses, he found himself in a dimly lit maze.
The surrounding area is filled with towering stone walls, and the winding passages are as dense as a spider web, making it difficult to distinguish directions.
He raised his hand and rubbed his slightly throbbing forehead, a sense of vigilance rising in his heart.
This mysterious space is indeed full of dangers; we encountered such a bizarre maze as soon as we entered.
A chilling atmosphere permeated the air, as if some lurking beast was watching from the shadows.
Zhuang Yu held his breath, carefully sensing the movements around him.
A faint, eerie feeling lingered in the passageway, making the hairs on his body stand on end.
He knew this was definitely not a good sign.
Sure enough, just as he became more alert, a low growl suddenly came from the darkness, like the roar of a wild beast.
Immediately afterwards, a dark figure pounced on him with lightning speed.
Zhuang Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he swiftly shifted his body to the side, narrowly avoiding this fatal blow.
A sharp gust of wind from a claw grazed past his clothes, tearing open a gap in his garment and revealing the taut muscles beneath.
Zhuang Yu frowned, a surge of anger rising within him.
This shadow beast was so troublesome; it gave him a rude awakening right from the start.
The shadowy figure, having missed its first attack, launched another fierce offensive.
The sharp claws lashed out like blades, accompanied by gusts of cold wind, aiming for Zhuang Yu's vital points.
Zhuang Yu stopped dodging. He channeled his spiritual energy into his arms, clenched his fists, and prepared to strike.
"Since you want to fight, then I'll play along!"
Zhuang Yu let out a low shout and darted out like a cheetah.
He feinted with his left hand to distract the Shadow Beast, while his right hand condensed a fierce spell and blasted it towards the Shadow Beast.
In an instant, the entire maze passage was illuminated by the light of the spell, and the air was filled with intense spiritual energy fluctuations, causing the tense battle atmosphere to rise to its peak.
However, the Shadow Beasts did not seem as vulnerable as he had imagined.
It let out a strange hiss, and with a swift movement, it dodged Zhuang Yu's spell.
Upon seeing this, Zhuang Yu's eyes narrowed, and he secretly thought to himself that something was wrong.
This shadow beast is so cunning!
Zhuang Yu's mind raced, and he immediately changed tactics.
He withdrew his spell, and in a flash, he charged towards the Shadow Beast with his bare hands.
The Shadow Beast was clearly not expected that Zhuang Yu would suddenly change his attack method; a hint of surprise flashed in its scarlet beast eyes.
The claws, which were poised to strike, paused for a moment in mid-air, giving Zhuang Yu an opportunity to strike.
Zhuang Yu moved with lightning speed. He rushed to the Shadow Beast in one stride, clenched his fist, and with a whistling wind, slammed it hard into the Shadow Beast's abdomen.
"boom!"
With a muffled thud, the Shadow Beast's massive body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the stone wall, sending fragments of rock flying.
It let out a painful roar and spewed out a foul-smelling black liquid.
Zhuang Yu gave the Shadow Beast no chance to catch its breath. He pressed his advantage, his figure following closely like a shadow.
He used both fists and feet, each strike landing precisely on the Shadow Beast's vital points.
Although the Shadow Beast's defense was astonishing, it gradually showed signs of weakness under Zhuang Yu's relentless attacks.
Its black fur was torn apart by the force of the punch, revealing a bloody and mangled wound underneath.
Each of Zhuang Yu's attacks was accompanied by the sound of bones shattering, a sound that sent chills down one's spine.
The Shadow Beast's roar grew weaker and weaker, its aura gradually weakened, and the ferocity in its eyes dimmed.
Zhuang Yu's confidence gradually returned, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. He thought to himself, "Nothing special!" He felt his spiritual energy surging within him, and his power flowed out continuously, as if he wanted to crush the Shadow Beast completely.
Just then, he caught a glimpse of a worried look out of the corner of his eye.
"Son..."
Wang Yao watched the thrilling battle from the sidelines, her heart pounding in her chest.
Her slender hands were clenched tightly together, her knuckles turning white.
Although she was only at the late stage of Qi Refining, she could still sense the power and ferocity of the Shadow Beast.
How she wished she could be of help instead of just standing by and worrying.
Her worried gaze was fixed on Zhuang Yu, as if afraid that he would be harmed in the slightest.
Zhuang Yu noticed Wang Yao's gaze, turned to look at her, and smiled reassuringly.
He knew Wang Yao was worried about him, but he didn't want her to worry too much.
He gave her a look, indicating that he was alright and that she shouldn't worry.
That look in her eyes was full of warmth and trust, which made Wang Yao's tense nerves relax a little.
Just then, the Shadow Beast suddenly let out a deafening roar, its body began to swell, and black mist seeped out from its pores, enveloping it in darkness.
A powerful dark force erupted from it, causing the entire labyrinth to tremble.
"Not good!" Zhuang Yu thought to himself, knowing that the Shadow Beast was going to fight desperately.
He dared not be careless and quickly mobilized the spiritual power within his body to form a protective barrier to resist the impact of this dark power.
Two powerful forces collided in the maze, producing a deafening roar.
Stone fragments fell from the cliff face, and the ground began to shake violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Zhuang Yu felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his body, making it difficult to breathe.
But he did not back down. He gritted his teeth and pushed his spiritual power to the limit to fight against the dark power of the Shadow Beast.
The temperature in the maze suddenly dropped, and a bone-chilling cold filled the air.
A thin layer of frost formed on Zhuang Yu's body, but he felt no cold at all; his heart was filled with a burning fighting spirit.
The Shadow Beast's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and dark power surged forth like a tidal wave, assaulting Zhuang Yu's defenses wave after wave.
Zhuang Yu felt his strength being gradually depleted, but he did not give up.
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself, "I will not lose!"
He took a deep breath, concentrated all his spiritual power, and prepared to unleash his strongest attack.
"Wang Yao, step back!" Zhuang Yu shouted.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yao quickly took a few steps back, but she did not leave; her gaze remained fixed on Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Yu looked at Wang Yao with a slight smile on his lips, then turned his head and stared coldly at the Shadow Beast.
"Come on!" he growled. "Let me see what else you've got up your sleeve!"
He slowly raised his right hand, and a dazzling light was gathering in his palm...
"What do you want to do?" the Shadow Beast roared, its voice filled with fear.
The light in Zhuang Yu's palm grew brighter and brighter, eventually transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
This beam of light contained all of Zhuang Yu's spiritual power, carrying an aura of destruction, as it hurtled towards the Shadow Beast.
The Shadow Beast let out a desperate roar. It tried to dodge, but found that its body was locked in place by this powerful force and it could not move at all.
The beam of light struck the Shadow Beast instantly, producing a deafening explosion.
The entire maze shook violently, and rubble fell like raindrops.
After the explosion, the maze was in complete disarray, with dust flying everywhere.
The shadow beast had vanished, leaving only a huge crater in the ground, still emitting wisps of black smoke.
Zhuang Yu stood beside the deep pit, his body radiating a faint golden light, like a god descending to earth.
He was slightly out of breath, feeling the emptiness of his spiritual energy, but a victorious smile appeared on his face.
He won!
Zhuang Yu slowly walked towards the bottom of the pit, where the aura of the Shadow Beast lingered.
He searched carefully, hoping to find some useful clues.
Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a black stone.
The stone lay quietly at the bottom of the deep pit, engraved with strange runes and emitting a faint black light.
Zhuang Yu bent down to pick up the stone and carefully examined the runes on it.
He had never seen these runes before, but they gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Just as he was studying the stone, the surrounding maze walls suddenly began to move, making a loud rumbling noise.
"What happened?" Wang Yao exclaimed.
Zhuang Yu raised his head, looking at the constantly moving wall.
"Young master, be careful!" Wang Yao warned.
Zhuang Yu nodded, gripping the stone tightly in his hand, his eyes fixed on the moving wall, thinking to himself, "This maze... could it be alive?"
The walls moved faster and faster until they finally stopped, forming a new passage.
Zhuang Yu looked at the newly appeared passage, his
"Let's go!" He took Wang Yao's hand and walked towards the passage...
